BEECHER.


ANCESTRY AND EARLY HISTORY.
New York Tribune.I
Henry Ward Beecher, the eighth
child Of Lyman and Roxana Foote
Beecher, was born in LitchfeId, Ct,
June "a, 1913. The exuberant vitali-
ty and perfect health which charac-
terized Mr.. Beecher were derived from,
long line of New England ancestors
nearly all of whom were remarkable
for physical prowess or intellectual
acumen. In 1888 the most opulent
colony of any that had arrived in New
England came to Boston, headed by
John Davenport, a prominent London
clergyman, with Theophilus Eaton,
formerly Ambassador to Denmark,
and afterward Deputy Governor of In
dia. In this colony was Hannah
Beecher, a widow whose husband had
died just before sailing, with her son
John. She was a midwife, and was
urged to come by promise Of her
husbands share in the town lot. On
account of the Antinomian contro-
versy, which originated with Mrs. An
ME Hutchinson, and some other trou-
bles it was decided to leave Boston and
found an independent colony. This
was done at Quinnipiae, now New Ha-
ven, Ct, the site being chosen by rea-
son of its good harbor. Under a
spreading oak tree growing on Han
nah Beecher's land, John Davenport
preached the first sermon heard in
New Haven, April Is, 1888. John
Beecher's son Joseph married Pom
eroy, and was noted for his wonderful
strength, which he proved to admir-
ing friends by lifting barrel of cider
and drinking from the bunghole. Ma
thaniel Beecher, the son of Joseph,
was brawny six-footer, also able to
lift barrel of cider. He was black
smith, and his anvil stood upon the
stump of the old oak tree under which
Davenport preached the first sermon.
He married Sarah Sperry, an exceed
ingly pious woman Of Welsh descent.
Nathaniel Beecher's son David. al
though not so tall as his father, re-
sembled him in being a blacksmith
and in his ability to lift and carry bar
rels of cider. He was considered one
of the best read men in New England
being particularly well yersed in as
tronomy, geography and history. He
was constantly interested in politics
and counted Roger Sherman among
his friends. For the time he was re-
garded as wealthy. Constantly stud
ying and arguing with the college stu
dents and Representatives to the Leg
islature who boarded at his house, he
is.represented as having been equally
fond of humor and harmless jokes.
He was five times married. His third
wife, Esther Lyman, was of Scotch
descent, and was noted for her joyous
and hopeful temperament as well as
her strong mind and excellent charac-
ter. She was the mother of Lyman
Beecher, Henry Ward Beecher's faith
er. who was born October -, 1775.
Of the twelve children born to David
Beecher, all but four died in infancy.
AS the mother of Lyman Beecher died
two days after his birth, he was taken

esSue Mundy!o

40 TIE Eultor OF tne Standard:
In a recent issue of your paper I see
you said something about the execution
of Jerome Clark, alias Sue Mundy, which
brings back to my mind some scenes con-
nected with the bloody career of that
once noted bandit and others of his Guer-
rilla Confederates as brutal and inhuman
as himself. will give their names as I
knew them: there was One-armed Berry,
of New Haven, Nelson County, and the
two Magruders, of Built County, who
were terrors to all Union men living in
that section. Mudras Hills was their IA
vorite resort, and they knew that country
so well that it was almost impossible to
get in reach of them, as they had so many
friends in Nelson, Built and Larne Coun-
ties, and in the towns of New Haven,
Boston, Elizabethtown, Colesburg and
Shepardsville, all these places.
They were always welcomed, as we
could tell when scouting and passing
through them, by the young ladies shout
ing for JEFF. Davis and displaying small
Rebel flags, and singing Guerrilla songs,
something like this: "Jim the rGuerilla's
in the West, with One-armed Berry, OH
1 might say more if 1 had time, about
Guerrilla warfare in Kentucky and Ten
nessee. But 1 will only give you an in
stance or two:
Our Regiment was stationed at Leban-
on in the Spring of 1864, and we were
scouting around Mudras Hills, and doing
train guard duty. "Sue Mundy" and his
band would fire on the train, breaking
the glass in the windows, and by the time
the train would stop and the guards get
out, the game would be gone. At one
time the Guerillas rolled a hogshead OF
tobacco on the track at Nelson Furnace,
to wreck the train, or make the engineer
check up so they could rob it. But the
engineer took in the situation, and pulled
the throttle wide open and let her go,
knocking that tobacco endwise, without
so much as checking the speed of the
train.
At another time as the train went down
on its regular morning trip. we only had
two stops between Lebanon and Louis
ville-New Haven and Lebanon Junction.
When we stopped there in that particular
morning. am sorry 1 have forgotten
the edates-somewhere about the last of
September 1864, we saw four Union Sol
diers:lying on the platform. All were
young men, and had!been made to stand
up in line and be shot down by these
Guerrilla murderers. All were shot in the
left breast, near the region of the heart.
They had been at home on furlough, and
were at the station waiting for the train
when the Gnerrillas came and murdered
them. This was some of the work of
"Sue Mundy" and his band of cut-throats.

and saw of ."Sue Mundy." But this is

RESOLVING TO ENTER THE MINISTRY.
A religious revival took place at the
school in Henry's first year, which
crystallized into more definite form
his keen sensibillties and vague pur-
poses. At his fathers request he
went to Boston and there united with
the Hanover Street Church. DR..
Beecher was man exceptionally en-
thusiastic in his professions, and with
him the natural result Of Henry's con-
version was that the ministry should
be adopted as the young mans life
work. For two years more Henry de-
voted himself to classical studies and
Mount Pleasant, and in 1880 he en-
tered the Freshman class at Amherst,
at his fathers wish, although the ad-
vanced state Of his studies would have
entitled him to enter as a sophomore.
This gave him much leisure time dur
ing the first year, which was employed
in the study of oratory and rhetoric
and in reading.
In his sophomore year he was con-
sidered the first writer and debater in
his class, and was appointed President
of the Athenian Society, although his
neglect of the classics and mathemat-
les forbade his attaining high college
honors. In this same year another
revival occurred and this marks the
real starting point of his religious
life.
In the last two years in college
Henry taught district schools, begin
ming his library with the money OBJ
tanned, preached and spoke regularly
in religious meetings, lectured on
temperance and, as the anti-slavery

In 1916 lot of land on Cranberry

cupied since 1923 by the First Presby-
terian Church. was purchased by John

ing a Congregational Church. On
May s, 1847, David Hale. of New
York, Ira Payne, John T. Howard,
Charles Rowland, David Griffin and
Henry G. Bowen met at the house of
the latter, resolved themselves into an
association of Trustees of the new
church, and decided to begin holding
services at once. In the following
week Mr.. Beecher came to New York
to speak at the anniversary of the
American Home Missionary Society,
and he was invited by the Trustees to
preach at the opening service Of Ply
mouth Church. This he did to an i'm
mense audience on May 16. On June
IA the Trustees sent him letter ask
ing him to accept the pastorate Of the
new church. The health of his fami-
ly and the calls Of wider field Of use
fulness impelled him on August 10 to
accept. An amusing theological ex-
animation preceded his installation.
''Do you believe in the Perseverance
of the Saints?" asked DIR. Humphrey.
Il was brought up to believe that doc
trine," replied Mr.. Beecher, land [
did believe it till | went out West and
saw how Eastern Christians lived
when they went out there. I confess
since then I have had my doubts"
But Mr.. Beecher passed through the
ordeal, and on October 10, 1S47, he
entered upon the duties, continued
through the remainder of his life, as
pastor Of Plymouth Church.

port, in Grant county, w. Va, was struck
by lightning last Saturday and instantly
killed. He was sitting near the fireplace in
bis fathers house when the bolt came down
the chimney through stovepipe hole,
thence was attracted to his body. The only
mark left by the fluid was small blue spot
on the young mans right shoulder. At Pc
tersburg, in the same county, large ball of
fire about two feet in diameter fell from the
sky, and when about six feet from the
ground, $50 yards in front of q stage, burst
with terrific report like thunder, scatter
ing streaks of flame in every direction, and
so frightening the horses as to render them
almost unmanageable. This was few min
utes after Rodgey was killed. A thunder
storm was in progress at the time
